Currently shooting in Ann Arbor, Michigan, "Ides" stars Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Evan Rachel Wood, and George Clooney, who is also directing. Based on Beau Willimon's play "Farragut North," "Ides" casts Clooney as a Howard Dean-type Presidential hopeful, while Gosling plays the lead character---a wunderkind press secretary who finds himself embroiled in the ugly world of back-room politics.
